Using iSight, add to white's pipcount: 3 for the extra checkers, 2 for the gaps on the 4&6, and 3 for the spares on the deuce. That gives her an adjusted count of 26. Blue needs no adjustment.

Add 1/6 to blues's pipcount and subtract 2 to get the point=of-last-take: 30.

For money, blue is within 3 of the POLT, so R/T.

AtS, white's takepoint on a recube is about 26, and since she is so close to the POLT it would seem to push it into take territory. So, R/P.

Recently, we had a position where rolls vs pips was decisive, and this is another example where rolls may be more important. Not sure if iSight handles these kinds of positions correctly. Blue is usually off in 4 rolls while white is usually off in 5, so it would be a clear pass just based on that.

OtB, one way to look at it is to loosely model it as an N-roll position with N=5, which would imply hold, but then observe how often blue is off in 3 or 4 rolls and say R/P for both scores. I'll stick with iSight for the record.

R/T for money R/P AtS.
